Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Analysis of production records found no issues associated with the lot/sn.It is the manufacturer's assessment that due to the proud positioning of the implant, once the patient returned to daily activities and regained full weight bearing, the implant was exposed to the weight bearing forces which might have led to micromovements, resulting in implant loosening.Implant loosening due to implant protrusion is a known risk.
